Broom and Broom needed the background on a stock image of a hand blown out to white, while keeping the lighting on the hand somewhat realistic.

There were several exterior shots taken that day, but this one was wanted by the client to finish the story. Due to scheduling this shot had to be taken close to high noon in summer, where as the rest of the story had been shot on a cloudy morning at the end of winter.

To not have this image stick out like a sore thumb it was necessary to add some low lying clouds to mimic the other photos. The shadow in the foreground was also too severe for winter light. I created an exact copy from the raw file, at a much lighter exposure, and then used it to paint detail and contrast back into the shadows.
